That’s all AI bullshit.

I went to the bike show here in the UK recently and definitely noticed a trend towards more smaller and lower cost bikes on offer.

I think that this is actually the future. The market is realising that you don’t need massive capacity to be able to comfortably beat the flow of traffic, and the speed limits on the camera infested roads.

Also, money is getting tighter. Flooding the world with free money during covid is now starting to have its inevitable consequence on real world finances.

I also think that the R&D costs associated with making ever better two wheeled missiles is simply making them too expensive.

In the car world, high volume makes it easy to pay back such costs over time, allowing lower sales prices. In the bike world the volumes are too low to spread the R&D cost like this.

I think we’re gonna see a lot of cooler smaller bikes over the next few years. And I’d say this is a good thing.
